From a Facebook page:
Stan/Garnet Rogers set list auction. (See photo of list)
"The timing won't be right for Christmas giving as the auction won't start for a while, but I thought I'd give a heads up on this. Some folks out there might be interested in the fact that I am donating a valued personal artifact, and a small bit of Canadian musical history to help my friends at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs NY raise some money for on-going costs.
"This is a set list from the final tour that my brother Stan and I did with our dear friend and bassist, James Morison, in 1983, just a week or so before Stan was killed.
"It is written in Stan's own hand, on the back side of of a bit of stationary from the Mount Royal Hotel in Banff Alberta.
"How Stan got a hold of the paper remains a mystery to me.
"We wouldn't have been allowed to darken their door, let alone their towels, under any circumstances.
We must have swiped it from the lobby.
"Anyway...maybe keep an eye out at the Caffe Lena Facebook page in coming months, and try a bid.
It is a worthy cause.
"Lena Spencer was a giant of the folk world, and a dear friend of mine, and I am proud and delighted to be able to help the club out in any way I can."
